Recommendations for setting video for the best
performance:
"Best performance" means the image refresh rate should be the fastest possible
and the video quality should be the best possible using the lowest amount of
network bandwidth possible. Four factors, Maximum frame rate, Key frame
interval, Fix bit rate, and Fix quality in the Video configuration page, are
related to the performance.
Recording Settings for real-time motion images
To achieve a real-time visual effect, the network bandwidth should be large
enough to transmit 20 image frames per second (fps) or more. If you are on a
broadband network over 1 Mbps, you can choose Fix bit Rate to 1000Kbps or
1200Kbps, or choose Fix quality to achieve the maximum frames. The maximum
frame rate is 25 in 50Hz system and 30 in 60Hz system. If your network bandwidth
is more than 384Kbps, you can adjust Fix bit rate according to your bandwidth
and set the maximum frame rate of 25 to 30. If the images vary dramatically in
your environment, you may slow down the maximum frame rate to 20 to decrease
the transmitted data for better video quality. Since the human eye could not
easily differentiate between 20 and 25 or 30 frames per second, the slower
frame rate will not be noticed. If your network bandwidth is below 384 Kbps, you
should adjust the bit rate according to your bandwidth and experiment to allow
for the best frame rate that can be achieved. The faster frame rate in a slow
network will blur the images. You may also try to choose 352x240 in size option
for better images or 704x480 for larger image size. Because the network has
burst constraints and everyone's environment is not the same, any poor
connection will impair normal performance.
